During the month of December, even the most skeptical of the bunch tend to be more festive than they usually allow themselves to be. And while their homes are the first to be touched by this impulse, their computers can be a great way of expressing their enthusiasm as well.

That’s why a tool such as Holiday Candle Screensaver could come in handy to those who want their PCs to match the entire atmosphere.

The screensaver bears an obvious winterish feel, what with the blue candles that seems to be lit while snowflakes keep on falling. The black background compensates for what would otherwise appear to be on the border of excess as far as the color palette is concerned.

In the top-left corner, a celebratory text is displayed, wishing you a happy new year and once again suggesting the screensaver’s specificity.

In case you want to make further tweaks to the way this lightweight holiday-themed app works, you should access your computer’s “Screen Saver Settings” section, where you can, among others, select the position of the image. You have three options at your disposal, namely “stretch,” “fit,” and “fill.”

As for the display settings, the application allows you to enable or disable hardware 3D rendering, not to mention that it lets you choose the display mode.

Besides, you can also interfere with the sound and adjust the volume of the screensaver, and even mute it altogether.

Holiday Candle Screensaver is a nice utility for those who want to bring their computers up to date with the Christmas and New Year’s frenzy. Packed in traditional winterish colors, the screensaver will definitely work as a reminder for the approaching holidays and will hopefully add a hint of calm to your mood too.
